What is fitness?

I believe fitness is the ability to accomplish a task. I think the ideal of IWCABTAMD is a marketing ploy. I believe it is actually impossible to be balanced in the 10 physical fitness skills. I believe the ideal of being balanced across the energy pathways shows a complete lack of understanding of cellular physiology.

General training develops strength, endurance and mobility. These three qualities form the base from which specific training will develop power, speed, accuracy, agility, balance, and coordination a specific task. Power, speed, accuracy, agility, balance and coordination are skill specific.

My training is based on these two parts: General training to develop strength, endurance and mobility and specific training to improve performance (increase power, speed, agility, accuracy, balance and coordination) in a specific sport, weightlifting and soccer depending on the time of the year.
